架构师提供的文本描述。这套独特的公寓位于东京的心脏地带，位于一座低矮的公寓楼内，距离一条主要公路只有一个街区。

Text description provided by the architects. This unique apartment is located in the very heart of Tokyo, inside a low-rise apartment complex, one block from a major highway.

这位客户一直在东京市中心寻找一个方便的位置，发现这套37年前的公寓位于这栋楼的阁楼里，里面有长长的倾斜的天花板和原始的内部。倾斜的天花板已经变成了天窗，在自然的阳光下，可以看到美丽的城市，畅通无阻。由于这套公寓是用作住宿用途，我们采取了独特的特点，并增加了一种酒店般的气氛。

The client had been searching for a convenient location in central Tokyo and found this thirty-seven year old apartment located in the attic of the building complete with long, sloping ceilings and a raw interior. The sloped ceilings have been converted into a skylight allowing in natural sunlight with a wonderful unobstructed view of the city. Since this apartment is to be used for accommodation purposes, we took the unique character of the apartment and added a hotel-like atmosphere.

设计：为了实现工业阁楼内部与酒店式气氛的和谐，在生混凝土墙壁和天花板表面采用了类似日本传统纸“wasi”的软绘画技术。

这种原始的纹理是由树脂片创造的，通常用作地毯下的防滑垫。这些垫子被切割成A4大小，附着在内墙和喷漆上。一旦纸张被移除，它似乎是日本传统的华盛顿纸的质地。

This original texture is created with resin sheets that are normally used as slip-proof mats under carpets. These mats are cut to A4 size, attached to the interior walls and spray-painted. Once the sheets are removed, it appears to be the texture of traditional Japanese Washi paper.

由于Airbnb这样的网站，这些类型的短期公寓租金越来越受欢迎。他们是那些对传统酒店不满意的顾客，他们希望在去东京旅游时能享受到家的舒适和独特的体验。

Due to websites like Airbnb, there has been an increase in popularity with these types of short-term apartment rentals. These are customers who are dissatisfied with traditional hotels and would like the comfort of a home while traveling along with a truly unique experience when visiting Tokyo.

未来：在20世纪80年代，日本的经济泡沫创造了大量的“铅笔建筑”。这些都是高大细长的建筑，是为了最大限度地利用东京的小块土地而建造的。这个项目将使这些已经存在的建筑恢复活力，为城市在很久以前产生的旧的功利主义建筑注入新的生命。

Future: During the 1980’s, Japan’s economic bubble created a host of “Pencil Buildings”. These were tall, slender structures built to utilize small plots of land in Tokyo for maximum profitability. This project will rejuvenate these already existing structures breathing in new life to old utilitarian buildings generated by the city long ago.
